TK Airline Code: Turkish Airlines IATA & ICAO
Turkish Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code TK and ICAO code THY, based in Turkey. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
TK is the IATA airline designator stored for Turkish Airlines. ICAO is THY. Country of record: Turkey. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example TK 456. Agents should not confuse TK (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with THY (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Turkey carriers stored here: PC (Pegasus Airlines). To decode a full itinerary that markets TK, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find TK at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Turkish Airlines.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 TK 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier TK (Turkish Airlines) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
